Decreasingly worth it
I used to love this podcast, back in the Violet Lucca days. It once was a joyful bastion of true cinephilia: actual critics with real aesthetic engagement would explain their reactions to new art without dumb jargon or pomposity, at least a lot of the time. (There were always some dull events mixed in, often emceed by higher-ups and industry insiders rather than critics at the magazine.) But the staff turnover has been absolutely deadly. It’s now nothing but sycophantic, slobbering praise of interviewees, empty posturing, and dull wit couched in badly misunderstood faux-academic language. The new hosts are absolutely repulsive poseurs. Just awful.

More reviews of The Film Comment Podcast
A wonderful podcast that takes the art of film seriously. You may disagree with their opinions, but one cannot deny the passion and attention to form that is typically displayed in episodes that revolve around wonderfully idiosyncratic topics.

I loved the Marriage Stories #2 interview. Especially Andrea Janes has a great voice presence and sense of humor. Please keep this hit series going, on different themes of marriage and relationships as viewed across several films.

Can be good. I often agree with the folks on the podcast but sometimes the presentation feels off putting. They also need to fix their audio
